porbable Parasitic Jaeger131 viewsThis bird was probably a Parasitic Jaeger, but was pretty far out. It was seen from a boat by Colby Neuman and relocated by me a short time later from shore. Great Salt Lake State Park, Saltair Marina, Salt Lake County, Utah. September 2007

Cassin's Finch?131 viewsThis bird struck me as being odd, but probably not out of the range for Cassin's Finch. It lacked a complete eye-ring, but showed a pale border on the bottom of the eye. I think the green-olive color is the most odd feature however. Any comments are welcome. Lytle Ranch, Beaver Dam Wash, Washington County, February 11, 2008.
